MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Finally the big day is here. It was one of the busiest Christmas we have had yet. Jaden woke us at about 830 this morning, letting us know that Santa had been at the Gwaltneys. We of course had to wake my wonderful sleeper Landyn, who wasn't so sure about going downstairs (just in case Santa was still here). The bike from Santa was the HIT of the morning, Landyn was so excited that she even forgot about the MOON SAND she so desperately wanted, she even had a selling point for us (it never dries out) I swear she should be in the commercial. We had to hurry and get to Nanas for breakfast and open presents by 10. Then back home to get ready, make the all time favorite chicken dip (thanks Karey) and back on the other side of town by 2, at Aunt Kathys. We had fun hanging out with all the family and the girls got really nice presents from everyone. Then we were off again to get to my Uncle Roys to celebrate Christmas with my family by 5. The day seemed rushed and crazy but we wouldn't trade it for anything we feel so blessed to have all the family we do. The bigger the family means more presents..oops did I just say that...I meant more LOVE!! Hope everyone had a great Holiday!! Love the Gwaltneys
PS Ill post lots of pictures tomorrow..ohh forgot to mention I got a new camera!!! Im so excited to start using it. Thanks Nan and Joe!!!

Tomorrow is Jesus Birthday

Wow, now that a happy girl!!

Aunt Kelly waiting her turn to play Landyns new guitar!! I think shes a bigger kid than Landyn.

Uncle Kyle, Jaden and Morgan

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve. We all went to Aunt AJs, the food was great and the company even greater. Its always nice to be with family. Jaden and Landyn made out like bandits, and are so excited for Santa to get here. Landyn keeps checking the window. Both the girls got new PJs. As you can see Jadens fit her perfectly. Wonder if they make that shirt in my size! Tomorrow morning we are off to Nana and Grandpa Joes for breakfast, then to Aunt Kathys, then to my Moms for Dinner. We feel so blessed to have the families we do. We love you all!! Merry Christmas to all our friends and family

Landyn is making sure the cookies are good for Santa.

A wonderful night

Last night was Glendale Glitters Jaden and Landyn were amazing. I was a little worried about Landyn, but she rocked the house. I was one proud Mommy. The only downfall was Landyn would NOT take a picture!! It was nice to have everyone show up to see the girls dance. Even Aunt Kim showed up to support the girls. I took a few pictures of the girls back stage, and then my camara died. I was so bummed because I wanted pictures with everyone. The best picture I have of landyn!!

The girls were so excited!! Landyn wouldnt look at me for a picture, but shes still the cutest little bug around even with her eyes closed.

Glendale Glitters

Landyn got her costume for Glendale Glitters last night and she absolutely loves it. I think its the cutest outfit I have ever seen. She looks like a baby doll in it. All she did was giggle over and over again, and as soon as Scott walked in the door this morning, she was so proud to show her daddy her costume. Jaden gets hers Friday and Im sure they will be just as cute. Jaden is also getting excited for her Christmas party at the dance studio. They have been doing secret santa for the past three weeks and will find out who was there secret santa at the Christmas party this friday. Today is Landyns last day of school and Jadens is tomorrow. Santa is coming to town!!!

I love zofran

Up until about 2 this afternoon, I was pretty much miserable. Just a constant nausea and upset feeling. I left the house 2 times in the past few weeks, which gets OLD really fast. But I am happy to say that the doctor prescribed Zofran, and I feel AWESOME!! Kendra and I were talking about Zofran and what a difference it made in how I felt. I thought where was this drug back in the day with the other pregnancy's. It would have come in really handy. (Kendra gets really sick while pregnant too) Plus Scott will be happy to have my old self around. He said he doesnt like me this way I barely talk to him. Now that made me feel good. We all know how much I like to talk, and Im glad he likes it too!!! OK, let me fill everyone in on the past week. Jaden had three birthday parties, she has a busier calendar than me. Landyn started running a fever Sat evening, she even missed the skate party. It lasted till Monday. Now she has just a runny nose, but I guess it is going round. I just want her to get better for Glendale Glitters. Landyn also cant wait for Santa, she asks everyday "Santa come today" she also cant wait to open presents, it will be fun this year to see things from her eyes. Ill post a picture of Olivia and Aubreys birthday party that Jaden went to, Im glad she has lots of friends that she loves to spend time with!!!

ONE LITTLE HIPPO

We are home from our doctor appointment and we are happy to be the proud parents of ONE little hippo. Actually it looks more like a peanut than a hippo, lets hope this one has nuts of its own! We are so happy to be having one, we were actually a little scared of the double baby thing, but we were prepared for either! The due date is July 26, which is our Uncle Mikes birthday! Landyn's is July 16, mine is July 24, Mikes July 26, Kendra's July 28, Morgan and Ki Ki's Aug 10, and Jaden's Aug 12 wow that's a lot in a short time period. Plus a LOT of LEOS can the family stand one more?? Good luck Justin and Jake at your championship game tonight, sorry we couldn't be there. We know your going to kick some BUTT

WHEN IS THE HIPPO COMING!!

Well tomorrow is the big day. We find out how far along we are and also if there is more than one hippo in my tummy! For those of you that dont know about the HIPPO. Landyn has put in her request for a hippo instead of a baby, a girl hippo to be exact. Wonder if the song "I want a hippo for Christmas" that she is dancing to at Glendale Glitters has anything to so with it. I have been feeling YUCKY for the past two weeks and rarely leave the house. I cant wait for this stage to be over! Thank goodness for my sister she has helped sooo much, anything I need or want shes there! My mom also came over today and spoiled me! Kendra just took the girls to the school that Jaden goes to, they are having a movie night in the cafeteria "A Shrek Christmas" with hot chocolate, popcorn, and lets not forget the guy in the red suit SANTA.

Cabin Fever

Well it was offically a great weekend spending time at the cabin with family. The cabin itself was beautiful I will post pictures soon. The only draw back was that I wasnt feeling too well just slightly sick to my stomach and might have the flu. On the way home Dylan threw up in the car and I at least made it to a taco bell bathroom. We get home and Scott calls his mom to see how Dylans feeling and he was doing fine, about that same time Kristen texts to see if Im pregnant, so Scott went to the store and well Im happy to announce 2 tests later that I DONT have the flu and we will be expecting a bundle of joy in 9 months. We decided last month to put it on hold with everything else going on. (we had been trying for about 9 months)and had been back on the pill for one month. I guess God has another plan for us! We are so happy!!
